Welcome, so apparently Nintendo declared this august as the month of princess peach.... no. It's now the month of Shulk. Shulkgust.

Also how bout them shades?
Well ain't that peachy :troll:

But yeah, I feel like it's only a matter of time before we get Shulk. Hopefully soon, because the hype is killing me xD

Only reason I wouldn't want a Villains trailer is because I'd love to see Ganondorf with Metal Face vs Shulk and Ness/Lucas.
Oh god, that would be awesome. Dorf + Metal face!

Guys, let's get back on track. This is the Shulk thread, not the "put sunglasses on ALL THE THINGS" thread.

I had an idea about that leaked moveset, the "stance-change" one. What if it isn't a stance change, but rather a move where you hold B to cycle through Monado arts, similar to Pac-Man's roulette attack? As you hold B, it goes from, say...Speed to Purge to Buster to Armour to Cyclone, over the course of a second or so. Might be a bit clunky, but Pac-Man can make it work (maybe it also remembers your place if you hit the shield button? That could be useful).

I'm just trying to figure out a way to make that leak work, since it seems to be the hardest to kill so far.

I really hope that leak isn't true. Not only are all the newcomers except Shulk stupid in my opinion, but Shulk's moveset also seems like lost potential, since stances aren't even a thing in Xenoblade.

I feel like various skills would be relegated to special moves, but Buster mode is the default.

Since you could only cycle forward and not backwards it would make that gimmick practically useless. Not a fan of it to be honest.

Yeah, stances would just seem a bit "off" for Shulk. There's so much more that could be done with the Monado arts, let alone with all of his other arts

Still holding out for for Arts to be scattered across his entire moveset (from specials, to aerials, to tilts, etc).

And i'll throw this one in too because why the heck not

Psst. Ladies and Gents.

Maybe keep the sunglasses business to the PMs or profile posts or something? Because it's actually slightly off topic. I don't like buzz killing but it's getting a little out of topic.

To follow this up, to those that are interested, PM/Profile Post @ Solfiner Solfiner , @TitanTeaTime, or @ Dunban Dunban for shades. As for joining the Shulk general social convo, you can PM/Profile Post me, @KingofZeroX, @ MooseSmuggler MooseSmuggler , or @ Solfiner Solfiner for an invite.

That's all. Hopefully this won't be overlooked.

I always thought that Shulk's Up B would be him grabbing onto Riki while Riki flaps his ears kind of like snake's Up B.
I still think Riki being involved in Shulk's moveset is hilarious. If the Heropon doesn't turn out to be an AT, it's definitely a possibility :laugh:

I figured Air Slash would either be an aerial or Shulk's Up-B personally.

Apologies. We'll keep the monocles to a minimum

You can also ask me if you want in on the convo. And iirc, @ Solfiner Solfiner has a premium account now and can let you in.

How about victory screen cameos, like how Little Mac has Doc Louis show up in his victory animation? Maybe Riki, Melia, Sharla, or Dunban could make a cameo in Shulk's victory screen. Maybe Reyn.

Unless he's an AT, Reyn would probably be the most likely to appear in a victory screen, considering his close bond with Shulk, childhood friends and all that.

Edited my post to include you.

Reyn Time baby. Or anyone else that could get featured in a Chain Attack FS (that's non-AT) can also make an appearance.

Yeah, feel free to ask. It's the perfect place to have off-topic discussions, so that we can keep this thread on-topic as much as possible.

Oh god, Reyn appearing in Shulk's victory screen would be AMAZING.

What would Shulk's victory quote be? Maybe, "The future doesn't belong to you!"
"Piece of cake!"

One of his taunts should be the Monado enchant motion, while he is saying "You're not invincible!" That would be so much hype.
